Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping diverse fields in science, with molecular science being no exception. A recent study published in Research (Science Partner Journal) reports S²ALM, a powerful AI tool which uses a step-wise learning approach for a detailed analysis of antibodies. Using both 1D sequence and 3D structural data for antibody learning, the developed model outperforms prior models across key tasks, advancing antibody design for various diseases and redefining the future of therapeutic development.

CU Boulder engineer Nicole Xu fits moon jellyfish with microelectronic devices that enhance their natural swimming ability and will one day be able to gather data.

The complex 3D shapes of brains, lungs, eyes, hands, and other vital bodily structures emerge from the way in which flat 2D sheets of cells fold during embryonic development. Now, researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a novel way to use light to influence an animal's own proteins in order to control folding in live embryos.

SAN ANTONIO — August 20, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has constructed its first facility outside of its San Antonio headquarters in Warner Robins, Georgia. The 33,000-square-foot, $18.5 million building, equipped to advance national defense technology, is strategically located 3 miles from Robins Air Force Base to bolster SwRI’s longstanding support for the U.S. Air Force.

The University of Oklahoma has received a $3 million, five-year grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to advance natural infrastructure applications. 

A new, AI-powered training method created by UC Berkeley researchers helps robots learn complex tasks with startling speed and accuracy. The protocol combines human demonstrations and feedback with the robot’s own real-world attempts to help it master tasks such as assembling a computer motherboard, building a shelf or even “Jenga whipping” with a 100% success rate within a matter of hours.

Researchers at Stanford Engineering have developed a new drug delivery platform that would allow antibodies and other protein therapeutics to be administered via injection, instead of through a time-consuming IV infusion.
